About

I am currently an Senior ML Scientist at Abridge. My research includes Multimodal and language models post-training, Multimodal Retrieval and Generation, Synthetic Data Pipelines, Computer Use Agents, and Multimodal Applications in Healthcare. More details:

  • Knowledge Retrieval: How can we effectively retrieve and utilize external knowledge to not only enhance comprehension but also mitigate hallucination?
  • Generalization: Designing models that can seamlessly adapt and perform across various tasks and domains without explicit training.
  • Multimodal Understanding: Delving into the integration of textual, visual, and other modalities to bolster machine comprehension and response capabilities.
  • Biomedical/healthcare application and innovation: Evaluate and innovate the LLMs to solve biomedical and healthcare challenges, such as long sequence processing, noisy data mitigation, data imbalance rectification, and enhancing interpretability.

Previously, I was a AI research scientist at Intel Lab and research fellow at Mayo Clinic, AZ.I earned my doctoral degree in 2023 from Arizona State University under the esteemed supervision of Dr. Chitta Baral. I am also privileged to collaborate with amazing industry researchers from Salesforce, Meta and Google during my internship.
